Sid ... vs the Blue Jackets ... Nov. 14, 2023 (photo, no video)

... vs the Sharks ... Nov. 4, 2023 (photo, no video)

... vs the red wings ... April 8, 2023 (surprisingly, there was video)

... vs the wild ... Nov. 17, 2022 (no video, but two photos)

(of all the 2022-23 helmet exchanges, I only found two that didn't have video; one was Sid's, one was Tanger's)

... vs the flyers ... Feb. 15, 2022 (there was video)

(of all the 2021-22 helmet exchanges, this was the only one I found without video)

... vs the Islanders ... Feb. 20, 2021 (no video, not even a photo, though it was Sid's 1,000th game, so there was a ton of video otherwise)

Documentation available noting Sid receiving the helmet, dating back to the 2020-21 season. Not only are actual videos rare, it shows how infrequently he actually gets the helmet. (Which I assume is the result of him asking guys to give it to other players who might benefit from the confidence boost.)

#Sidney Crosby #Pittsburgh Penguins #whatever happens when the team passes the helmet to Sid #the video rarely sees the light of day #also ... Sid doesn't get the helmet that often #I assume he's made it clear that he'd rather it go to someone else #unless it's something like a 4-point night #or a career milestone #and the team would look bad if they didn't give it to him
